MAINTENANCE
Your planer should provide you with a long time of
service provided you take the time to perform the
following maintenance operations.
A quality paste wax should be applied to the planing
table surface to ease the movement of the workpiece
across it. Be sure to buff off all excess wax so that it
does not get absorbed into the wood when planing.
Having clean feed rollers is essential for optimal results.
Check feed rollers after each use for buildup of pitch,
gum, or resin and be sure to clean off with a non flam-
mable tar and pitch remover
Any moving parts should be cleaned regularly with a
penetrating oil and lubricated with a light coating of
medium weight machine oil
GEAR LUBRICATION
The gears in the gear box should be lubricated
periodically.
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCON-
NECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
WARNING
